NFS, yeah I think a stock OEM wheel would be the cheapest way - guess I could spray it black and it would look a little more 'track stylee' lol. The standard wheels are the same width front and back though aren't they? Like I said, would prefer wider at the rear.

Where's the best place to buy R888's or Yoko track tyres?

I knew all that mate...


Are you a racing driver?

Mate i would concentrate on getting consistently quick lap times before you plow money into special tryes.

I know my car will not go any ounce quicker on a track unless i mod it with decent tyres. Cant be arsed to spend money on that though.

Kkeep with the 18" the perfomance difference with straightline acceleration is probably non existant.
